Realms In The Firmament

Ye Clan certainly wouldn’t like the plan of the other clans. [Are you kidding me? Even if we are forced to agree with you, we should at least have enough lotuses for you! We don’t have hundreds of it!]

For one month, Ye Clan was in a mess.

There would be people dropping in to make trouble.

Ye Tianchen was the forefather of Ye Clan, who was also the strongest cultivator in the clan. He had been living in fights every day. However, even though he was level two of Dao Origin Stage, he fought alone, and he didn’t dare to kill. He was afraid that if he killed any of those men, the other clans would fight back together and make it a war against Ye Clan. In the end, Ye Clan couldn’t endure it anymore, so they decided to hold a meeting to discuss with the other clans.

”You all want Regeneration Ink Lotus? Fine! Let’s hold a combat arena! Let our power decide!

”One victory, one lotus.

”We, Ye Clan, only have sixty lotuses! That’s it! We can’t take out more even if you kill us all.

”However, we can’t be the only clan who provides the awards. Otherwise, we would rather fight till the end of our lives!

”You all have to offer your lotuses as awards! Each of you has to provide at least twenty lotuses!

”I, Ye Tianchen, give you the word today! If you don’t agree, we will start a war! After today, I will not spare any life of yours! Whoever dares to infringe on Ye Clan’s interests will die!”

After the thirteen fights, Ye Tianchen gritted his teeth and spoke with a mouthful of blood.

The leaders of the other clans realized they had pushed Ye Clan to the edge. It turned out Ye Clan possibly just had only sixty plants of Regeneration Ink Lotus, which were of high quality.

They gave it a second thought and realized it was a fair deal. It might be the best solution to hold a combat arena.

They all had to give away a certain amount of lotuses, but much less than Ye Clan did, and much worse in quality than Ye Clan’s lotuses. It was a benefit for them. Thus, they started to focus on making the arena rules. Only the younger generation below the age of twenty had the right to attend the arena. The award for one combat was one lotus.

The clans had agreed on a day to hold the arena.

That day happened to be the next day!

Huang Clan people were desperately running on the road for the arena.

”Things actually came down to such a situation…” Ye Xiao rubbed his jaw and murmured, ”If I go up to fight the combat… I guess nobody can defeat me. Right?”

Han Bingxue rolled his eyes up.

[You go up?]

[Brother, your power has significantly improved since the rebirth, so does your duplicity. In the old days, Brother Ye never had such scheming mind and brazenness! What does the saying go? Your brazenness has made your face thicker than the thickest part of the city wall!]

[I have had enough… You can’t bully people in such an inhuman way!]

[With your current capability, you can sweep the entire Oracle District!]

[Don’t you understand?]

[Am I right?]

[You actually want to go fight against a bunch of kids…]

[Can you stop being so shameless, inhuman, evil, and vile?]

Since Han Bingxue knew what was happening, he decided not to go too far on this, so he generously announced, ”Off you go now! Considering your humble behavior, I would like to give you a bit of advice. Do not rampage on the road like this ever. You are lucky that I have a good temper. If I were somebody else, you all would have died!”

The Huang Clan people humbly agreed and left.

All of them had the same thought in their minds. [You have a good temper, huh? You f*cking stomped, and it killed one hundred and eighteen horses of ours! We haven’t done anything wrong…]

That was right. Their horses were all dead.

They had to run on foot to the Town of Ye now.

However, they never dared to say it out. They should thank god when they heard Han Bingxue told them to go…

They all ran like they were going to piss in their pants.

That was incredibly fast!

…

”We got what we need. Let’s go.” Ye Xiao was thrilled. ”No matter what, I am a member of Ye Clan, am I not? I can’t be absent in the arena.”

Han Bingxue kept his eyes wide open and said, ”Boss… Are you… really going to attend? Don’t you think it would break the balance?”

Ye Xiao turned around and looked in surprise. ”Why not? How do I break the balance? Am I not a young man younger than twenty? Am I not a member of Ye Clan? I meet all the conditions, then why can’t I attend it?”

Han Bingxue looked freaked out. ”Boss, I just found another strength of you. Why do you like to attend big events so much now… Isn’t it a bit too evil… Ahem…”

…

In the Town of Ye.

The town was filled with all the people from different clans.

Five days later, the Misty Cloud Palace would send their deputy over.

According to that, the clans were having quite an urgent time. They had to finish redistributing lotuses within four days.

Ye Clan wasn’t happy anymore, but full of sorrow.

In Ye Shuqing’s backyard.

Ye Nantian was sitting at the table, holding a cup of tea, and drinking tea dilatorily.

He had commanded an army in Land of Han-Yang for many years. That gave him a great aura. His every movement in daily life was always showing his imposing manner.

Comparing to the anxious old gramp Ye Shuqing, he was totally the other extreme.

”Nantian, I am afraid we Ye Clan are going to be doomed.” Gramp Ye sighed. He looked worried.

Ye Nantian sat still and talked casually, ”So be it. Why are you so worried? Even the sky falls down, the taller ones will hold it for us. Look at you, I even think that maybe you are the chief of our clan.”

Gramp Ye sighed, ”I know you have the grudge in your chest. However, Ye Clan is our root. Ye Clan’s survival, honor, and disgrace concern every one of us! You have to keep it in mind.”

Ye Nantian showed a cold sneer, ”Root? What kind of root? Do I really have to keep it in mind? Let me be honest with you. If you and my mother were not here, I would have left for a long time… I don’t care whether Ye Clan is in hell. It has nothing to do with me.”

”Nantian, Ye Clan mistreated you, but you are after all named Ye. The blood in your body is Ye Clan’s blood! You can’t change it even when the sky falls to us!” Gramp Ye was angry, ”You are impervious when our clan is facing a fatal crisis. How can you be so cold-blooded?”

Ye Nantian’s eyes lit up drastic light, ”How would my brother die if they have been treating everybody a real Ye Clan member? Is it really meaningful to devote ourselves? Does it worth unilateral devoting ourselves? If you still insist, I have no words to say!”

Gramp Ye was shocked. He suddenly froze.
